Jordan Devlin Wants To Face Rey Mysterio, His Goal As Cruiserweight Champion, Possibly Working WrestleMania

NXT UK superstar and current cruiserweight champion Jordan Devlin recently sat down with Sport Bible for an exclusive interview. Highlights are below.

Thoughts on Rey Mysterio:

I’ve been watching him since I was a really young man and I’ve seen him in WCW, I watched his stuff in ECW on tape and then when he came to the WWE he lit the whole world on fire again. He’s just been going for, like, 20-25 years at the highest possible level and he just has this ability to reinvent himself.

And some of the matches he had this year with Andrade, it’s just like you’re watching an 18-year-old man fly around the ring and some of the stuff he’s able to pull off is incredible. So, he’s an inspiration to me and an inspiration for most other young wrestlers who see themselves wrestling into their late 30s and 40s.

Wanting to face Mysterio at WrestleMania:

Well, as I said before if we’re going WrestleMania, we’re going that big, I think it’s gonna have to be the innovate, cruiserweight style [of] Rey Mysterio.

If he thinks he’ll be on the WrestleMania 36 card:

I can only hope so. All I can do on my end is keep on knocking out of the park with these matches and then it’s up to people higher up than me where I sit on the card.

Wanting to raise the stock of the NXT cruiserweight title:

So my task for the next few months, as long as I hold this title, is to elevate the brand and elevate the title as high as I can and make the matches as must-see as possible.
